Hey Musical Demons!!

I love the sound of a strumming/rhythm guitar on smooth tracks; ie, Best of My Love - Eagles, That's the Way of the World - EWF, etc. and I include this instrument on almost EVERY song I create. If I could play a guitar, I would just midi up to my DAW, but I'm just not that talented.

My problem is I just can't simulate (as close as possible) a strumming/rhythm guitar sound.

Here's what I envision...

When I press DOWN on my keyboard keys it produces a sound of the chord I played, once I RELEASE those keys, I want the keyboard to produce the same sound of the chord I just played. I'm assuming this is an "aftertouch" feature?

Is what I described possible? Is this a feature I can configure in PowerTracks Pro Audio or is this hardware specific?

Somebody help a bruh man out!!!

I used to have a piece of hardware called an Oberheim Strummer. If you can find one it'll do exactly as you said. It was/is a cool piece of gear.
Here's one:

See my off topic post on acoustic guitar plugin - it has a strum feature, but to get the best sound out of it you need to know how to play guitar!

Ok, where's the piano sounds for the guitar? I mean the REAL piano sounds and not those 80's Yamaha MIDI synth sounds.

All kidding aside, this is a neat instrument. The Key-tar. Thanks for sharing!
